Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to photovoltaic panel technical field, concretely is a photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Photovoltaic panel, commonly known as solar panel, is a device that converts sunlight into electricity, and the working principle of photovoltaic panel is mainly based on photovoltaic effect. When sunlight shines on a semiconductor material, photons will excite free electrons, forming an electric current. This current can be collected and converted into electrical energy. Specifically, photovoltaic panels are usually composed of multiple solar cells. These cells are physically composed of two layers of semiconductor material. When sunlight shines on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, photons transfer energy to electrons in the silicon material, causing the electrons to jump to a higher energy level and become free electrons. These free electrons flow along the direction of the semiconductor material under the action of the electric field, forming an electric current, which is then collected and converted into electrical energy.

[0003] When cleaning the existing photovoltaic panel, manual cleaning with a mop or other tools often results in uneven cleaning due to differences in operator strength, speed, and cleaning tool performance. Some areas may be clean, while others may still have dust and dirt. Manual cleaning is relatively inefficient and requires frequent cleaning to maintain the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel. However, due to the limitations of labor and time costs, it is often difficult to clean in a timely manner, resulting in excessive accumulation of dust and dirt on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, affecting the efficiency of electricity generation.
